A UTV, or utility terrain vehicle, is built and used mainly for work. Besides being large, powerful, and able to accommodate passengers in pairs, they are built with a lot of storage space. In locations where trucks are impractical or impossible to use, these vehicles are commonly used to transport equipment and supplies. The wheelbase of an UTV is standard, just like a car (four wheels). However, they can have more wheels for specialised purposes. Again, the UTV handles more like a car than a quad bike (ATVs) and is steered via a steering wheel. Normally, between two and four passengers can ride safely in a UTV. Passengers sit side by side, which has earned the vehicle the nickname “side-by-side”. You may also see the UTV referred to as a SxS, again referencing the seating arrangement. UTVs are faster and more powerful than ATVs, but not as nimble. Their max speed is generally between 25 mph and 60 mph. Both braking and acceleration on a UTV are controlled by foot pedals. With occupant restraints (seatbelts) considered standard, and the option to add a windshield and roll bars, UTVs tend to have more safety features than ATVs do. It’s not unusual for UTVs to have a cabin. Oftentimes it’s similar to the roof on a golf cart, but fully enclosed cabins are available. The customisability and versatility that make a UTV appealing comes at a price. UTVs tend to be more expensive than quad bikes for sale, UK, especially after they’ve been modified.
